Bhubaneswar: Eye-catching sculptures and artworks installed at Rail Sadan, the headquarters of the East Coast Railways (ECoR) here, have been made from scrap and waste material, officials said.
These art installations are made of discarded scrap metals, nut bolts and welded into beautiful creations, they said.
The scrap materials from diesel engines (loco) like Cam Gear, cylinder liner, exhaust manifold, aftercooler cooling tube, piston carriers with rods, spring, centrifuge covers, airbox cover, released rods of baggy filters, bearing, bolt heads, end plates and filter nets have been utilised to make these art forms, they said.
“Passers-by on the street in front of Rail Sadan at Bhubaneswar will definitely get attracted to the new form of artwork which will give the message of a meaningful activity and promoting and practising environmental awareness through utilisation of waste materials,” ECoR said in a statement.
